Saturday’s win over the Hokies coupled with a Louisville loss to Florida State puts the Miami Hurricanes into fourth place in the ACC. The Hurricanes are tied with the Cardinals and North Carolina State.
With victories over both teams, Miami owns the tiebreaker. The top four teams in the final ACC standings receives a bye in the conference tournament.
The Hurricanes are now 2-0 since losing star guard Bruce Brown. Brown had surgery on his left foot last week. He is expected to be out for six weeks. That would keep him out through the conference tournament.
